*Most of these are actually shelf price $1 and will trigger your Wellness+ discount, making them as low as $.40 each after reward. I have used these in the past for my kids’ birthday parties and they are pretty good quality. Time to stock up!

Why was your thread moved to Deal Discussion MrVietnam, when all the other Rite Aid sales and deals are kept in Grocery Coupons & Deals? As the OP, I'm sure if you asked the mods, one of them would move it back. I've done that with threads I posted, that were moved for reasons unknown. Grocery Coupons & Deals is called that for a reason.

Thank you! All I can say is that I am baffled. Completely, utterly, baffled. I've been here 12 years and never saw this, nor was I aware of an unwritten precedent for this.

A Reader that works at Rite Aid sent me this about the Rite Aid Holiday Gift Promotion! This is the one where people are randomly getting +Up deals listed on their receipts. So far no one has been able to figure it out. I went the other day and didn’t get any? People were speculating it had something to do with the number of Wellness Point you accrued, BUT it doesn’t and now we know how it works!

This notice explains it. This is what it says:

wellness + Exclusive Holiday Gift Promotion

Overview – This year, Rite Aid has replaced our annual “Gift of Savings” Customer-wide sale promotion between Thanksgiving and Christmas with a NEW Customer-Specific promotion.

The “Exclusive Holiday Gift” promotion leverages the data we have on our most valuable Silver and Gold Wellness + customers to create highly targeted spend threshold rewards that help drive incremental sales from these customers during the same time period.

FOR EXAMPLE:

A gold wellness+ member that spent between $40 and $50 last year on eligble products between Thanksgiving and Christmas last year will receive an incentive to get a $10 +UP Reward when the member spends $75 or more this year. This will drive at least $25 of incremental spend from that customer this year in order to reach the reward.

In total, more than 3.4 million wellness+ members are part of this year’s “Exclusive Holiday Gift” promotion. They are grouped into one of 32 different spend threshold groups.

All included members began receiving teaser messages on their register receipts on 11/18/12. These teaser message directed them to either look in the mailbox or check their register receipt for more details. Below is a sample of the teaser receipt message:

Show a receipt with this: Attention, As as valued wellness+ customer Rite Aid has a SPECIAL OFFER just for you this holiday season when you shop thru 111/25/12 thru 12/24/12. Check your mailbox or receipt for details.

OK, here’s my personal take on the promotion:

First of all Rite Aid is the store I shop at the most. I always shop there because I am in a small town with no other drug stores and they have the best deals. I always reach Gold Status. So why am I not personally included in this promotion? I already shopped there this week and nothing printed on my receipt and I haven’t gotten any mail saying I’m included. Most people already have and know which one they are included in. So maybe their numbers aren’t working so good to decide who GETS to be a part of the promo. I am (a bit) offended that I’m not a VALUED customer since this is my main shopping store. Oh well. We can’t all win.

Second of all it kind of makes me mad at how they are going about this promotion. They want people to increase their level of spending at the store to get their bonus. Like jumping through a hoop. I understand they want more sales, but there are better ways. For instance, better Black Friday Sales! Their Black Friday Sales were terrible this year and I didn’t even go into the store (which is unusual for me.) I heard that this year was their worse Black Friday sales in 20 years!

Third of all, I don’t like being put in “threshold groups.” Why can’t we all have the same opportunities to save? Why must we be put in groups? I’m sure they think this marketing technique will work or they wouldn’t be doing it. I probably don’t know as much as their experts do in this area. So who am I to say?

My personal overall opinion of the Holiday Gift Promotion – it stinks. I just don’t like it and it has nothing to do if I’m included or not. In fact, maybe my wellness+ card will activate some kind of promo next time I buy something. I just think the marketing on this one stinks. Of course, it’s still my favorite store (with my favorite Cashiers) and I will continue to shop there!

Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser starter:Not sure of the price at Rite Aid but there's a TMF rebate: Click here for rebate formIf you have not done the rebate already. But the rebate requires you to send in the original rebate sticker from the product package, so finding a product with that rebate sticker is YMMV.

There is also an IP for $3 on coupons.com in case the price is greater than the max rebate amount of $8.99. Should make it free.

There is also a TMF rebate for Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist starter(up to $4.99): Click here for rebate form But the rebate requires you to send in the original rebate hangiag from the product, so finding that rebate hanging from the product is YMMV

WAGS MQ doesn't beep nor require it only to be purchased at WAGS. You may get some cashiers who disagree because of the WAGS logo on the coupon though.

MrV,

In which Wags coupon booklet did you find the $1 MQ for Carmax?

The $7.99 fragrances are BOGO 50% off this week plus you get a $10 +UP wyb 2!

Factoring in the +UP you get back, you will get two regularly-priced $7.99 fragrances for only $1.98. Would make great stocking stuffers...

MrV, thank you very much for sharing the Axe and Wahl deals. I bought 1 and 2 trimmers this AM and a 4th this evening. I also got four of the Axe an hour ago and received all that you detailed. I just wish RA would display, in real time, when someone has reached an ups offer limit. It can't be THAT hard to do since they do tracking of items purchased.

I was trying to decide between Chanel, Gucci and Estee Lauder, but unfortunately the $7.99 fragrance varieties didn't have any of those.

Just a reminder that today is the last day the Kellogg's high value coupons will be available on the Kellogg's Family Rewards site in order to get your free Kellogg's cereal, Rice Krispie Treats, and Pop Tarts next week at Rite Aid. You have to have points to purchase the coupons, but there is a thread here telling how to get free bonus points. See next week's Rite Aid thread for the deal and more information.

I did not get any spend promotion on my receipt at all. Today I got in the mail a $5 off your next purchase at Rite Aid. So not bad. It's certainly better than nothing. Did anyone else get something like this, or maybe even a higher value one?

A&H Detergent monthly deal DID NOT print today. (had not done it before, so max out not the issue).

Only got the $3 weekly up. AM in store was grouchy, insisted it's one or the other...you don't get both. YEAH, OK, sure. so I returned it, but was annoying, wonder if they turned it off early.

By the way, if you're having trouble finding the $9.99 WAHL Trimmers, they are by the shaving stuff, not the blow dryers. Very nice deal, had mens and ladies in my store. Got 4, paid $2oop as noted here with gold ac;s ups. FYI, Wahl coupons ARE BEEPING on the trimmers even though it's clearly shown and noted on the coupon. All 4 had to be manually input. Another PITA.

Leave it to rite aid.....

On a "HAPPY" note....those $2 conair/scunci items that are free ac's TRACK towards your bonus UP spend. So it's very easy to hit if you load up on lots of free ac's items, don't even have any OOP that way.

My two cards: one had a $5up with $40 spend offer, the other has $10up with $80.

will hit both for sure. easy $15 in ups.

The A&H deal was turned off yesterday morning/afternoon.. Do not do the deal!!

Some that did the deal yesterday afternoon after they shut down the DD have had success getting the extra +UPs from customer service but that probably is not as likely anymore. YMMV. I would suggest not to buy it at all if you need all $7 in +UPs.

The Jesse's Girl DD is still on.

The AXE double dip is also still on. I believe with AXE, it is until 12/31 so it doesn't end tomorrow. My store wasn't tagged, but I did see a sign on an endcap that said the $5 +UP was good through the end of December..

this is the kind of stuff that RA does that really irks me. Don't run a promotion and turn it off before the advertised end date. wasn't a misprint of any kind. Really wish a consumer group would go after them for crap like this. It's total false advertising IMO.

I guess the best advice for future weekly/monthly overlaps (double dips) is to get in on it right away and not depend on the monthly end dates as Rite Aid will stop good deals at anytime for any reason, to heck with the customer. This is a pattern that Rite Aid does over and over again. Good thing I got in on the Axe and Arm & Hammer deals early before they turned them off. I guess Rite Aid must look at their sales reports and when they see a spike in sales of certain products they investigate and end the gravy train immediately, but you have to think they know what's going on because they are the ones after all who offer the weekly and monthly deals in the first place.

On a happier note, I hit my spend mark and I got my $15 bonus +UP yesterday. It is valid for two weeks just as any other +UP. If any of you want to hit your bonus +UP quickly, it has been reported on that other site that buying a Rite Aid gift card counts towards the total spend needed for the bonus +UP. I am not sure if other third party gift cards count, but I can only assume they do too.

Yesterday my L2C for buying Axe deodorant did not come off (I had 3 Axe deodorants in my order). I called customer service this morning and the supervisor is sending me a replacement +UP for $3! I guess she thought that the L2C would take a dollar off each deodorant I bought. So this turns into a small MM for me.

I don't see this deal in the Southern California ad and I don't see it marked on the tags on the shelf you will get +UPs:

Does anyone know if this deal is available for Southern Californians? Anyone in So Cal try it? I wanted to do this deal as I could always use more napkins, but it looks like the deal may be regional only.

The Axe Cool Mist Shower Gel is ringing up at just $1.44. Use the $2/1 coupon from the 12/2 Smartsource insert to snag it for FREE! The coupon does state that it is only valid on shower gel 16 ounces or more, but several readers have commented that they are finding bonus size bottles that will work with this coupon.

The shower gel should track towards the “Spend $15, Get $5 +UP Reward” that is running this week as well. Please remember that this isn’t advertised and may just be a regional price cut, so have your cashier do a check on the price before purchasing.

I was coming to post here last night, Tuesday, about the Axe offer. I bought four items at 930 am and recd both ups. Stopped in at 8 pm to get two additional sets of four on a 3rd and 4th card for relatives and only recd ONE of the ups on each. I will return everything today. I am betting they will only give me a credit return for either:

1-my actual OOP of just sales tax ($1.26)2-the amount on merchandise less MFR CPNS used ($18-$8=$10)

That should be an interesting visit!

ETA: Forgot to mention my store believes MFR CPNS used, and sometimes UPS used, are gone forever when it comes time for a return!

I agree. I looked at the Wahl and decided they weren't worth much more than $0.50 ea + tax.
